Shaving Cream Technique

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

During Thursday's Technique Class, everyone had the chance to play with shaving cream! One of the cards we made was this St. Patrick's Day card.

You can get many different looks with the shaving cream technique. All you need to do is add reinkers to shaving cream. (It can't be the gel shaving cream. It needs to be the old fashion white foam. Scent doesn't matter!)

After "swirling" the reinkers, smush glossy card stock into the shaving cream and tap it in so that the shaving cream touches all of the shiny side of the glossy paper. Peel the glossy paper off of the shaving cream and lay it on a paper towel or wax paper. Take a popsicle stick or the back of a knife to scrape off the remaining shaving cream.

To dry the card stock without smearing the design, fold it in a paper towel glossy side down and carefully move the paper towel back and forth so the glossy paper moves with the paper towel.

Below is the second card that we did.
